THE HARVEST FESTIVAL. The Harvest Festival this year was held on Sunday and Monday evening, September 21st and 22nd, the Rev. D. Richards preaching in English, and the Rev. T. D. James, Vicar of Llanerfyl, in Welsh on Sunday and Monday evening. The Church was very tastefully decorated by the ladies of both congregations, and though a considerable number of our usual decorators have not yet returned from their summer holidays, yet we do not remember having ever seen the Church more beautifully adorned. There was a profusion of flowers and evergreens at the disposal of the decora¬ tors. We have now for many years been entirely dependent upon the generosity of our two congre¬ gations for the supply of flowers, and we are thankful to record that the supply has never failed, but rathered increased. We have learnt through experience at St. Mary's to trust the people, and, curious to relate, our most sanguine expectations have been fully realized Whether on the Church Council or in Church decorations and Sales of Work, the working class have been our mainstay and chief supporters. They have rallied round us on all occasions, and extended to us all the help and assis¬ tance within their power. In the English morning service the Te Deum and Jubilate were sung to Dykes in F and Sullivan in I) respectively, the anthem being " 1 will sing a new song," by Phillip Arms. The solo in the anthem was most effectively rendered by Mr McKenzie Williams. A large Orchestra composed mainly of Miss Hewitt's pupils was in attendance at the Welsh evening service. The Orchestra, which was organised by Mr. McKenzie Williams, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude for his labour of love, was under the conductorship of Miss Hewitt, and was assisted by Mr. Senogles, of Menai Bridge and other brass instrumentalists. The following selections of music were sung by the Choir, accompanied by the organ and the Orchestra :—" Gloria" (Mozart) ; "Thou openest Thine hand " (C. Simper) ; " Hallelujah Chorus" (Beethoven), and the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis to a setting by Owain Alaw. The solos in the anthem by Caleb Simper and "Through the darkness " by Rossini were splendidly rendered by Mr. Will Rob-its. We congratulate Mr. Bennett Jones, our accom¬ plished organist and choirmaster, upon the fine performance of the choirs on this occasion. The Rev.
